about

Second single from the #twelvetwelve project, where the band will be releasing one single each month throughout 2016... This track continues the dark and brooding theme.

A nuanced tale of paranoia, with masses trademark anti-chorus walking towards hope via a highwire over the pit of despair. Thoughtful guitar led pop/rock with synths, in a way you haven't heard before.

lyrics

LYRICS

Welcome to scratching the surface
I fell from the dark side of madness
I think I've seen you before

In between heaven and heartbreak
Between a rock and a hard place
They say it's better the devil you know

PRECHORUS
You may find freedom and fortune
But I'll be behind you wherever you turn
I will be there to remind you
You're mine

CHORUS
Keep holding on, keep holding on
No let up, I'll find you
Keep holding on, keep holding on
I'm here to remind you
Your fear is brand new

Are you familiar with this place?
Remember the warmth of my embrace
I know it's me that you see in the dark

And if you find peace with your eyes closed
You'll hear my voice at your bedpost
We have our methods of keeping you calm

PRE CHORUS
CHORUS

Watching the seasons take their toll on you
Beautiful colours burn

CHORUS

(Don’t let go of the things that mean the most,
Don’t give up and you’ll never be alone
Let the light in you know, you’re reaping what you’ve sown)
